Work Text:
It was just another day at Bastard München's training facilities. It‘s one of those days when the sun streamed through the gym windows and the team is surrounded by a more relaxed atmosphere. It was a friday as well so everyone is hyped for the weekend and making plans to enjoy themselves with friends. Michael Kaiser, his blond hair with blue dyed tips perfectly sitting on his shoulder, stands in the middle of the field while his teammates all went into the locker rooms to take a break. He is known to not take breaks and push himself towards victory, no matter how often those around him tell him to stop he won‘t change his bad habit.
Usually you‘d see Alexis Ness next to him but for some reason that is not the case today. It pisses him off.
He isn‘t the type to show affection or care for anyone but no one can deny his favoritism towards the only person who cherishes him too deeply, well no one besides Kaiser himself.
Laughter reaches his ear as everyone comes out of the locker rooms, including Ness. He glances towards the source of the voices and sees Ness having his arm around one of their teammates. They all seem to playfully fight one another and try to make the other trip. Ness looks at the teammate with that enthusiastic, almost childlike smile he usually gives Kaiser.
Disgusting.
Hearing him laugh makes Michael feel almost sick. He rolls his eyes at that but deep down craves Ness‘ attention. Ever since middle school Alexis has been admiring him and been on his side every minute so the sudden change of behavior makes him feel the kind of emotions he cannot explain or admit.
They’ve always been known as an unseperatable duo and he won’t let anything change that. No matter what.
Ness notices holes being stared into his forehead and looks to the source of the eyes. Holding eye contact with Kaiser usually leaves him flustered and excited but this time he can see a different kind of emotion in his eyes. Michael isn’t just staring at him, he is glaring angrily. Any other person would say that’s how he always looks, a cold, angry and annoyed expression, but Alexis knows better.
He has always been knowing better. Kaiser isn‘t an easy person to look through especially with the wall his pride has build around himself, not letting anyone through. But not easy does not mean it is impossible to get through it and Ness is known to believe in the impossible.
Quickly he makes his way to Kaiser and wants to ask him if everything is alright but Michael is faster.
„What took you so long?“ he asks, not even trying to hide how furious he is.
Ness is surprised by the question but answers firmly. „Ah I apologize Michael! A few teammates asked me if i want to go to the bar with them after training.“
The atmosphere turns into a chest-aching silence that they both dislike yet cannot control. The answer obviously made things worse, both of them know that, but no one wants to admit it. Kaiser out of pride and Ness out of fear. The silence carries on through not only the training but also in the locker rooms.
Alexis hates it. He doesn’t know why Michael is angry but he feels like it is his fault with the way Kaiser keeps looking at him even after he passes him decently, if not even perfectly. He‘d usually praise him in his own unique way but today he is too quiet.
Since when do people want to hang out with Alexis out of all people? is all he can think while playing. It makes his goals more sloppy, less precise.
He has never been worried about Ness being taken from him in any shape of form. The possessiveness they both feel towards each other is usually a valid reason for most people to stay away from them, yet someone dares to lay hands on him?
Without realizing the day already comes to an end and they are all getting ready to leave. Michael has been so lost in his thoughts the whole time and doesn‘t realize he stepped into the locker room. Alexis‘ excited-sounding voice is the only thing that ripped him out of his deep thoughts.
Ness seems to be getting ready to go out with most of the other teammates and sneaks a few glances at Michael. With the way the day has been going he hesitates to ask but desperately wants him to also come. He has been deep in his thoughts the whole day and in a worse mood than usual so it makes Ness more anxious about inviting him to a loud place reeking of alcohol.
„Do you wanna come too Michael?“ a teammate bravely asks, who seems to notice the way he stares at the group.
No answer.
They all took it as a rejection before Kaiser speaks up again.
„I‘m coming.“
Ness‘ face lights up and every else is quite shocked by his reply. He mumbled it so quietly they almost missed it.
Kaiser turns to Ness and sees him already smiling widely like the idiot he is. It makes Michael feel something unusual in his chest again but this time it doesn‘t hurt. Disgusting.
They all head out together and walk towards whereever the bar is. Michael doesn‘t care where exactly they go he just wants to stick close and analyse Ness‘ behavior. He has been reading more psychology books about human behavior lately so that knowledge should help him about Alexis‘ stupid act.
Lost in thoughts again he doesn‘t realize they arrived and accidentally bumps into Ness‘ back. With a red face he turns around and touches Kaiser‘s arm gently, asking him concerned if everything is alright. His soft voice overwhelms Kaiser with the strange feeling again so he harshly takes his arm out of his grip.
„Worry about yourself“ he spouts. Ness, trying his hardest not to sound hurt, mumbles an apology and watches him follow their teammates inside, following from behind.
They all sit down in a less crowded area and put their jackets on the booth they sit on. Ness of course immeditaly sits beside Michael but keeps his jacket on.
Kaiser can’t help but feel his heart race. That expression. His tightened lips, the tears in his eyes and the way his face crumpled. Even after sitting down that image won’t leave his mind and makes his heart throb.
He glimpses at Ness and sees him anxiously playing with the zipper of his jacket while talking to a few teammates. It was obvious that he feels hurt by what happened but Kaiser couldn’t care less. He likes him this way. Distant from others and only by his side.
They all start to talk about their order and what they want to drink, making suggestions and calculating the costs. Everyone but Ness. He never had any kind of alcoholic drink before so he can’t really order anything. A close teammate of his of course notices that and smiles at the anxious looking boy.
„What kind of taste do you prefer? Bitter or more sweet? A mix of both?“
„Uhm a sweeter taste would be nice.“
„Alright I got you!“ he replies, making Ness smile widely.
When the drinks arrive Ness checks out what Kaiser got but it seems he didn’t order anything. Why did he come then?
„Yo Michael why didn’t you order anything?“ a teammate vocalizes Alexis‘ thought and Kaiser just glares at him.
„Don‘t feel like reeking of shit from my mouth“ he answers rudely. Since they are used to his unpleasant comments they all just shrug it off and enjoy themselves.
The night goes on with laughter and some of the boys hitting on a few girls, only one of them not being entirely rejected. The music keeps getting louder at midnight approaches yet Kaiser hasn‘t moved a muscle. All he does is be on his phone and sneak a few glances at Ness next to him.
His red face and trembling hands indicate that he isn‘t thinking clearly with the amount of alcohol he consumed.
He leans back on his seat and taps Kaiser‘s shoulder. He turns around with an annoyed expression and is met with a big smile.
„What are you doing?“ he asks while leaning towards Kaiser‘s body, trying to look at his phone. Kaiser immediately grips his face and pushed him away, making him almost fall out of his seat. Ness can‘t help but laugh loudly and touch his face.
„Aaa so nice“ he shouts too loud while sitting up, crawling back to Kaiser. He touches his shoulder again but this time with a giggle.
Oh so he is the kind of drunk that turns childish? He mentally notes.
„Oh you haven’t drunken anything! Here take my drink“ he offers him his empty glass. Kaiser looks confused at him but then takes the glass with a sigh and places it in front of him.
„Noo drink from it!“
„I‘m not gonna do that.“
Alexis continues bothering him about it till Michael finally has enough and pretends to drink from it. It‘s almost embarrassing for him to do that but at this point he is willing to do it so he can shut up.
Alexis smiles and goes on a rant about whatever comes into his alcohol soaked brain. Kaiser stopped listening half way in and just looks around the bar till Ness suddenly rests his head on his shoulder.
„What the fuck do you think you’re doing?“
„You‘re so collllddd“ he slurrs his words while pressing his cheek onto Kaiser‘s cold neck.
„Maybe if you had taken off your jacket before you‘d feel colder now“ he remarks.
„Help me!“ he raises his voice again and clinges onto his arm. Michael pushes him away and tells him to do it himself.
Ness gives him the same sad look as before and looks down at the zipper. He continues to sit still while Kaiser can’t help but feel his heart overreact.
„This is so beneath me..“ He mutters and grabs Ness‘ collar harshly. With a strong pull he slides him back next to him and unzips his jacket.
Looking up he sees Alexis back to his usual enthusiastic smile and big eyes. He takes off his jacket and continues to lean on Kaiser.
Michael just lets him but not because he doesn’t care. Rather because he is too busy trying to get his heart back to a normal pumping speed. His sad expression should not make him feel this excited.
The smell of his perfume mixed with the alcohol makes Kaiser feel too lightheaded and he finally decides to push him away.
„We are going“ he announces and stands up.
„Already? But we didn’t even dance“ Alexis whines.
„Is this some kind of joke? Get your jacket Alexis. We are leaving.“ he walks away from the booth without looking back, knowing Ness is following him.
He takes a quick look and still sees Ness on the booth.
Why is he not following me ?? Is he..
With anger making its way to his chest he is being reminded of how the training today went.
„You braindead fucking mutt what did you not understand when i said we are leaving?“ he rushes over to Ness and grabs his collar furiously.
Alexis struggles under his grip while Michael doesn‘t hesitate to walk him out of the bar.
„W-Wait my jacket“ he worriedly says while trying to make Michael let go but he won‘t budge.
Alexis‘ eyes start to burn and he feels tears running down his cheek as he stays silent, letting Michael drag him towards a taxi.
He tells the driver the address of their shared apartment while pushing Ness into the car, sitting down afterwards.
The ride can barely be described as silent because all Kaiser can hear is Ness hiccuping and wiping his flowing tears over and over again. He rolls his eyes and looks out of the car.
The sky is filled with beautiful stars that are so far away that it is impossible to reach them. Who knows maybe they already exploded and all they see are the lights that haven‘t reached earth yet. A supernova being mistaken as a shining bright star.
That thought makes Kaiser turn to look at Ness who is leaning his head against the window as well but for a different reason.
Idiot fell asleep in this state.
His hand unconciously reaches towards his bright red cheek, still wet from all the crying. His skin is cold due to the lack of clothing since Kaiser forced him to leave his jacket at the bar. Even in his sleep he is noticably shaking and Michael already hates himself for what he is about to do next.
He takes off his own jacket and places it on top of Ness‘ smaller body. Frustrated he runs his hand through his hair and goes back to looking out of the window.
Why are you making me do these things?
Arrived at their apartment he harshly wakes Ness up and drags him out of the car. Alexis is unable to even grasp where he is and just continues clinging onto the jacket on his shoulder.
The familiar warmth of Kaiser‘s hands on his own make him lightly squeeze it and lean tiredly on his arm.
Michael looks away from the sight of Ness acting like a puppy and leads him to their room. In the elevator the people stared at them but Kaiser couldn’t care less. The thought of other people labelling Ness as something that belongs to him makes his blood rush faster through his veins.
He doesn‘t care what exactly could give others the impression they can’t touch Ness, wether it is a relationship or his name tattooed on Alexis‘ skin, he wants it to happen.
He quickly opens the door to their room and pushes Ness inside. He takes off his shoes and moves past the struggling boy on the ground.
„Wow not even taking off your shoes? How rude.“
„But you pushed me..“ Alexis mutters, looking down at his dirty shoes. His dazed mind makes his movements ten times slower so he take off his shoes in a speed that makes Michael angry.
„That’s not an excuse“ he argues irritated.
He is decent enough to wait till Ness takes off his shoes before he grabs him by his shirt and drags him to their bedroom.
It is pretty gay to share a bedroom but since they have seperate beds it was easy for Kaiser to deny his homosexual thoughts and tendencies towards his middle school friend.
The moon lights into their room and paints the walls and their beds a beautiful light blue. He throws Ness on his own bed and stands in front of him, looking down at the struggling boy.
„Do you think it is funny to act this way and abandon me? Huh? Do you suddenly realize you have a brain to use and try to get away from my side?“ he rants infuriated.
Alexis whimpers at every insult and looks up at him with big eyes and trembling lips. The moon lightning right onto his face, making the tattoo of a blue rose on his neck more visible.
„Stop looking at me like that. You make me sick.“
Sick is definitely the wrong word to use and Kaiser knows that. He knows he feels too excited seeing that face but who is he to admit that?
„Y-you are so pretty Michael“ Alexis thoughtlessly hiccups, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. Kaiser‘s eyes widen and can only stare.
He wants to say something along the lines of „What the fuck are you talking about?“ or „Are you out of your mind?“ but he can’t.
He leans down to be on the same eye level as Ness and looks him deep in the eyes.
„You are just drunk..“ he mutters and is about to turn around to go to the bathroom and clean off the smell of alcohol but Ness swiftly grips his arm and pulls him back.
Kaiser loses his balance due to the clumsy pull and falls right on top of Ness. On instinct he spreads his arms right next to Alexis’ head and lays right between his thighs.
„Alexis what-“ he starts but gets cut off by Ness‘ shouting.
„I didn‘t say that because I‘m drunk!! Even if I‘m drunk that doesn‘t change anything about your apperance. You are beautiful when I‘m drunk and tomorrow, when I‘m sober, you will still be as beautiful as ever.“
„You truly are a magician with the way you made me forget how you acted today“ he smirks without wanting to. Hearing Ness admire his beautiful reassures him that he won’t abandon him.
Alexis, still being confused on what exactly made him angry in the first place, apologizes to him in a gentle tone.
Unexpectedly his head is being moved up by Kaiser‘s index finger and he is forced to face him. They both stay deathly still. A blush spreads itself across his cheeks as he not only feels Michael‘s soft skin against him but also have his divine eyes looking at him.
With the feeling of Alexis‘ hot breath on his lips Michael slowly leans forward and connects their lips together. Both of them are shocked at that yet close their eyes and lean in more.
Alexis places his hand around Kaiser‘s neck and pulls him further down to the point of their chest touching. The taller boy pulls away and wipes his lips while Ness whines at the lost contact, wanting more.
„Alright that’s enough I can taste the alcohol on your lips“ he says disgusted.
„One more time please“
„No.“
„Please Micha“ he uses the nickname he has given him in middle school that Michael never allows him to use it in public.
Kaiser usually doesn’t let things like a simple nickname have an affect on him but this time it’s different. The atmosphere, the way he is laying on his bed with his legs still spread and the moonlight shining on his body.
„I‘ll give you one tomorrow just go brust your teeth and sleep“ he looks away flustered, inappropriate thoughts filling his mind.
„Okay..“ he gives in sadly. He stands up and walks past the other before being pulled by his wrist towards him. Kaiser gives him a quick kiss before letting go.
„If i see you all buddy-buddy with the others again I will make sure you are never able to even think about them“ he threatens him but all Alexis focuses on are his beautiful soft lips moving.
„Oh is that why you were mad?“ he asks but receives no answer.
„You were jealous as if you are my boyfriend!“ he laughs and Kaiser just punches his shoulder.
„Ow you can’t do that we just kissed! Boyfriends don’t hit each other“ He cries.
„Just go brush your teeth you wasted bastard!“ he flushes deeply and kicks him towards the bathroom.
He chuckles happily and walks into the bathroom.
Fucking hell I forgot how clingy he can be
It sounds like a complain but the smile on his face betrays him. That night Ness fell asleep faster than usual considering the alcohol in his system but Michael had a hard time.
He kissed him. It wasn’t just a normal kiss either. It was a claiming. A claiming that he is his. Will he even remember this the next morning?
